Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko doubts Mark Webber has what it takes to cope with the intense pressures of a Formula 1 title fight.
In a revealing interview with Red Bull's in-house magazine the Red Bulletin, Marko has suggested that Webber is good enough to win a few races a year, but struggles to achieve a champion's consistency.
"It seems to me that Webber has on average two races per year where he is unbeatable, but he can't maintain this form throughout the year," said Marko.
"And as soon as his prospects start to look good in the world championship, he has a little trouble with the pressure that this creates.
"In comparison with Seb [Vettel's] rising form, it seems to me that Mark's form somehow flattens out.
"Then, if some technical mishap occurs, like with the alternator for example, he falls relatively easily into a downward spiral.
"No driver remains unaffected by this, because the tension is palpable.
"In 2010, it was particularly extreme. Webber headed into the final race with better chances than Vettel, and he probably carried the disappointment of his defeat into the 2011 season, which is so easy to understand."
Marko believes that Webber has struggled to cope with the psychological challenge of Vettel arriving just as Red Bull delivered the Australian his first title-worthy F1 car.
"Something that I think is also very important is that for much of his career, Mark was never in a top team, but he was always regarded as a high flyer if he only could get into the right team," added Marko.
"Then Red Bull puts him in a car - a possible winner – and suddenly along comes this young kid and he snatches the booty from under Mark's nose.
"Psychologically it's not easy, of course; this would gnaw away at anyone's confidence. It's more than understandable."
Webber won two races in 2012 – in Monaco and Britain – and finished sixth overall in the championship, having been Fernando Alonso closest rival at half-season.

Twenty years later, as editor of the Atlanta Constitution in the 1960s, Patterson faced another ferocious foe: Southern racists who could not tolerate his opinions.
What caused this rage? Patterson, a native of south Georgia, told his readers that the South had to change its ways. It could no longer act as if it had won the Civil War. The institutionalized barriers that denied African-Americans full citizenship had to be destroyed. The violence carried out against blacks by white Southern terrorists must end.
On Sept. 15, 1963 — the day a bombing at Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church killed four young girls — Patterson wrote a column headlined, "A Flower for the Graves."
He wrote, "A Negro mother wept in the street Sunday morning in front of a Baptist Church in Birmingham. In her hand she held a shoe, one shoe, from the foot of her dead child. We hold that shoe with her.
"Every one of us in the white South holds that small shoe in his hand."
The column concluded, "We know better. We created the day. We bear the judgment. May God have mercy on the poor South that has so been led. May what has happened hasten the day when the good South, which does live and has great being, will rise to this challenge of racial understanding and common humanity and, in the full power of its unasserted courage, assert itself."
For words like that and many others, Patterson was harassed and threatened, and his family's dog was shot. Of course, Patterson and the Constitution weren't alone. A few other Southern newspapers, including this one, decried segregation and championed the drive for equal rights for blacks.
I was reminded of all this last week upon learning that Patterson had died after a lengthy struggle with cancer. He was 89. Besides working at the Atlanta newspaper, Patterson practiced journalism at The Washington Post and the St. Petersburg Times in Florida.
He had long since retired when I had an opportunity in 2004 to listen to him speak to a group of editorial page editors at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla. I was wowed by his stamina — while at the Constitution, he wrote a column seven days a week, from 1960 until 1968. I was impressed by his optimism, cheerful manner and humility. And I was struck by the comparison between then and now.
Any Southerner reading his 50-year-old columns today would barely shrug at the progressive ideas proposed on race. Equal opportunity, full voting rights and an end to discrimination on the basis of race are no longer controversial.
Most anyone holding caveman views on race today has the good sense to keep them to themselves. Back then, as Patterson would put it, a writer expressing himself thusly had to be "tough enough to brush off the threats and hate of maybe a majority of your outraged readers."
That's not to suggest that opinion writers have it made today. As almost any writer can attest, voicing uncomfortable truths and unpopular opinions will usually unleash an avalanche of hatred. I worry that too many newspapers have lost the will to present strong opinions, to offer editorial leadership on controversial topics. Instead, many seem to shy away from subjects that would enrage readers the way Patterson's did.
Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday we will officially mark with a federal holiday on Monday, famously said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Now is no time to keep opinion writers from testing the bounds of that arc.

Pyramid/395 Connector
•The project that community members can still voice opinions about is the Pyramid Highway/US 395 Connector which is in the process of its Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Public comment can be made on the DEIS through Nov. 12 when the RTC begins collecting comments to determine the preferred alternative for the Final EIS, which is slated to be submitted in late 2014.
The project will convert about six miles of existing Pyramid Highway from an arterial road to a controlled-access freeway and will include improvements east to Vista Boulevard, alleviating current and future congestion in Sparks and Spanish Springs for additional east/west connectivity.
The RTC reported preliminary design and environmental clearance estimated at $8.2 million. Final design and construction estimates are still unknown due to the progress of the project, but total estimates as of Monday estimate $1.1 billion.
Pyramid/McCarran Intersection
•A Record of Decision will be handed down before the year's end on the Final EIS for the Pyramid Highway/McCarran Boulevard Intersection project. According to RTC documents, early right-of-way access has been approved and the RTC is "engaged in the negotiation and purchase" of nearly 40 properties whose owners have expressed interest in participating in the program.
RTC officials said the final design will be complete in the third quarter of 2014 and construction can begin as early as January 2015. The project will meet the short- and long-term needs of the project based on regional growth. The project will decrease traffic congestion in Sparks' "busiest intersection" and improve safety in the area.
The total scope of the project is estimated between $61 million and $71 million.
SouthEast Connector
Work continues on Phase 1 of the SouthEast Connector (SEC) project linking east Sparks with south Reno crossing the Truckee River with construction of the Veterans Memorial Bridge.
Sparks Boulevard and Greg Street continue to see construction, reducing Greg Street to one lane heading east. Ground was broken at the intersection of the two Sparks streets in February. Steel girders are being placed at the south end of the bridge as part of Phase 1.
The Clean Water Act permit for Phase 2 of the project was submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers in mid-July and can be reviewed at the RTC's website.
Traffic Signal Improvements
•McCarran Boulevard in Sparks intersections will undergo improvements in early 2014 as the RTC plans to improve traffic signal efficiency and operation. Traffic lights on McCarran Boulevard at Nichols Boulevard and Lincoln Way will have updated video detection cameras and new fiber optic cables for better communication with traffic signals.
Additionally, a traffic signal report will be delivered to the RTC Board of Commissioners later this month about 140 intersections throughout the region, which were improved between February and September.
East Nugget Avenue Project
•The RTC finished a project on E. Nugget Avenue in October beginning at McCarran Boulevard and continuing east until the end of the roadway where a cul-de-sac was installed. The project cost was about $570,000 and it improved drainage problems and reconstructed the pavement, including curb and gutter improvements.
Cy Yearman, an associate at Kimball Equipment Company on E. Nugget Avenue, said it was likely the first portion of a beautification project for the corridor and she added that the refinished surface was a vast improvement.
"Unless you had a four-wheel drive vehicle, you had a chance of getting lost in a pothole," Yearman said of the previous pavement.
"They cleaned it up really quickly. I have never been this close to road work like that. We all drive through it, but to see how much was really being done was amazing."
Yearman said it was nice to see a "home grown" project that incorporated local business, such as Granite Construction, in the reconstruction of the roadway.
4th Street/Prater Way Corridor
•The Sparks portion of the 4th Street/Prater Way Corridor improvement project, from Evans Avenue to Pyramid Way has reached preliminary design and a National Environmental Policy Act study is being conducted to determine if any environmental impacts exist.
The entirety of the project, which is estimated at $30 million, will make the corridor a 'complete street' which improves bike, pedestrian, public transit and automobile safety and efficiency. The project extends through Reno and Sparks and extends to the Northern Nevada Regional Medical Center off Vista Boulevard.

The quotes in this set are awesome and the stamps are the perfect size for making cards or tags. They're super-high quality as far as the grooves in the stamp's shape. However, as with all the other Technique Tuesday stamps, removing ink tends to be an issue. The stamp stays colored despite stamp cleaners, soap and water, and even bleach. It doesn't cause much of a problem when stamping again because only the current color appears on your page but it does make that current color hard to judge when you have to see it through a stain.

This box is very versatile with its flexibility for arrangement of the interior boxes and a choice of ways to hang it. I plan to get several for the same space, changing them out seasonally.
This is a versatile product that is easy to adapt to almost any theme you'd like. Playing around with the "configuration" of this fabulous multi-compartment shadow box is half the fun. The other half is decorating it. The see-through cover adds a nice frame too. You can paint it, paper it, or leave it the way it comes. The possibilities are endless!

Women At Higher Risk For Heart Disease
Submitted: 03/04/2013
Enlarge Image
- Heart disease kills more Americans than any other single cause.
A new study shows women are more likely to die in the hospital right after a heart attack than men.
Women don�t get that classic chest pain radiating throughout their body.
They might not think they�re having a heart attack.
If you think you've had a heart attack, you should go to a hospital in two hours.
Some patients wait weeks.
"When women who are diagnosed with heart disease tend to have increased complications because they tend to present with more advance disease compared to men," said Marshfield Clinic Cardiologist, Dr. Michael McGill.
"They also have more comorbid complications such as diabetes and hypertension and in addition will have a higher risk for congestive heart failure."
McGill says that all of that will increases the risk for treatment.
Some heart diseases are genetic.
Exercise and eating properly are things you can do to reduce the risk, but there's one more thing you should really pay attention to.
"Probably most important to take a look at your cholesterol to see if there's any genetic components that predispose you to have high bad cholesterol or low good cholesterol," McGill said.
"Both are which risk factors of poor heart disease."
The older a woman gets, the more likely she is to get heart disease.
Women of all ages should be concerned about it.

Record breaking snowfall knocks the power out

- Our record breaking snow storm left more than 6,000 people across the Northwoods without power.
WPS had to rely on 20 extra crews from Green Bay, Wausau and Menominee to restore power.
But getting to the outages was a challenge.
A representative for WPS says workers are expecting even more outages to be reported.
"Not all of the back roads are plowed yet and that's where a lot of outages are located," said Leah Van Zile, WPS Community Relations leader. "Throughout the day as the temperatures warm, we expect to receive additional calls due to the unloading of snow off of the tree branches."
Eagle River had one of the highest number of customers affected by the outages.
Representatives for WPS say this was one of the hardest winters they've had to deal with.
"We've had some really, really severe wind chills which has really made the temperatures below zero. Typically, only in emergencies do we work in those conditions," said Van Zile. "But pretty much any other time, whether it's a rain storm, a snow storm, a wind storm, our guys are out there working, getting that power back on."
The number of outages dropped below 4,000 since earlier today.

Liposuction Surgery Atlanta: Reducing Fatty Bulges Made Safer & More EffectivePosted in Body Procedures, Laser Treatment | August 30, 2013
The surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fatty tissues in the body is known simply as lipo (liposuction surgery). It is normally undertaken when you have tried various efforts – exercising, dieting and lifestyle changes – to eliminating body fats to no avail. These stubborn body fats do not become manifest simply because of a Friday night's chocolate bingeing, but rather due to a confluence of lifetime factors that include your genetics, pregnancy, and significant weight fluctuations. Generally, body areas where hard-to-remove fat bulges may occur in your thighs, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and face.
Continuing Popularity
For many years, the popularity of lipo procedure has escalated due to the fact that a lot of men and women who have tried the surgery are satisfied with the outcome. In fact, the latest annual data (2012) released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) have revealed that indeed liposuction remains one of the top five most popular cosmetic surgical procedures. Even if you ask any random kid about cosmetic procedures they know, the kid may likely mention "liposuction" as one of them because of the latter surgery's widespread media exposure.
Meanwhile, the techniques and technological tools behind the surgery procedure have rendered lipoplasty safer and more efficient than ever. At his Atlanta Surgical Office, Dr. Brian Howard specializes in the non-invasive type of liposuction known simply as SmartLipo. He has spent, and continues to do so, countless hours to perfect his expertise in this special kind of liposuction surgery Atlanta.
Safer & Innovative
Utilizing laser fiber to break up the fat cells, SmartLipo procedure functions the same way as a traditional liposuction does: eliminates stubborn fatty bulges to give you a more proportioned body shape. But then since it's non-invasive, SmartLipo delivers similar lipo results but with less swelling, less bruising and pain, and a faster recovery time. Furthermore, Dr. Howard performs SmartLipo under local anesthetic, hence you may be able to avoid the extra cost, risk and downtime normally associated with having a general anesthesia. The U.S. FDA has since approved the use of SmartLipo in the removal of fat pockets considered to be unresponsive to exercise and diet routines.
Comprehensive Treatment
Surgical procedure aside, Dr. Howard is also known for his comprehensive approach to cosmetic surgeries and treatments. He puts premium to your utmost safety and comfort as a patient. Before recommending any procedure (even if not SmartLipo), he will engage you in a thorough discussion about every aspect of your intended procedure as well as your other treatment options. While SmartLipo requires much less discomfort and recovery time than traditional lipo, Dr. Howard will ensure that you are well informed about managing your oral medications to fully relieve you of any possible discomfort.
Dr. Brian Howard is a board-certified plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist with highly specialized skills in performing Smart Liposuction operations.
If you are nearby Atlanta area, please contact today the office of Dr. Howard via (770) 619-9566.

Sleep is an essential part of your growing child's health. The amount of sleep needed changes as the child grows older. Newborns sleep approximately 16 to 17 hours a day, while preschoolers need only about 12 hours a day.
Normal sleep has two parts: rapid eye movement (REM) and nonrapid eye movement (NREM). REM is an active form of sleep that is not as deep as NREM sleep. Dreams often happen during REM sleep. NREM sleep is a deep sleep. There are less body movements during this phase and the child breathes at a more regular rate.
Sleep disturbances or problems are common during infancy and childhood, including having trouble getting your child to bed, nightmares, and night terrors. Listed in the directory below you will find additional information regarding sleep habits and your child, for which we have provided a brief overview.
If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Growth and Development Online Resources page in this website for an Internet address that may contain additional information on that topic.

1063cc, 62bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 11
The Yamaha XVS1100 - a big cruiser of yesteryear is more a mid sized cruiser of today. It's an evolution of Yamaha's long running XV1100 Virago which used to be its custom-style range topper but now it's dwarfed by the near-two litre megacruisers. The Yamaha XVS1100 is somewhat old tech but light weight and manageability are always useful.
649cc, 40bhp, 96mph, Insurance group 8
The Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star is a fun and hassle-free way to enjoy your cruising. It's got a low, comfy seat, big bike looks, ease of use and nice styling on its side. Add that to a low purchase price and the Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star makes a good case for itself as an affordable alternative to Harley's 883 Sportster ...

Matthew Hill, Managing Director/Owner, Cortell Australia
I have been staying at the Quest Apartments each month for the last two years. When our office moved twelve months ago I tried other accommodation closer to work, but soon came back to the Quest Spring Hill, I would not contemplate staying anywhere else.
The facilities are excellent; the apartments are spacious and clean and the staff very friendly and accommodating. They go out of their way to ensure that I am comfortable and happy. I feel relaxed at the end of the day when I arrive there, it does feel like a home away from home.

- " Great value for money, perfect location in Copacabana, nice atmosphere, great place to meet travellers ..... dorms are OK but be sure you do NOT get one of the rooms downstairs, they're awful ... also be sure you know the price before coming there otherwise they will (try to) make you pay 2 or 3 times the normal price ! It is their policy, they can make you pay what they want if you ignore the price .. weird. Otherwise, the kitchen is smallest ever for such a big hostel. Breakfast and showers OK "

Glutamine Peptides are widely used by bodybuilders and athletes who want to reduce soreness after heavy workouts. Peptides are naturally derived chemicals that allow users to get larger doses of glutamine into their system quicker. This can help support lean growth and improve recovery times after intense exercise.
Unlike Glutamine, the other widely available dietary supplement, Glutamine Peptides are much more stable thanks to the bond between the glutamine itself and the peptides that are connected to it.
The advantage of this more stable form of the supplement is that it is digested more rapidly, and thus has a faster uptake than other forms. By taking Glutamine Peptides, you will be able to get the benefits far more quickly, making it a great post workout supplement to enhance recovery and growth.
There are a number of other benefits available for users of Glutamine Peptides that make them an even more effective dietary supplement.
Taking Glutamine Peptides in conjunction with a balanced diet can provide a number of excellent gains in both the performance that can be achieved in the gym, and in overall health.
As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming 4g, 1 to 3 times daily. Best consumed with your preferred amount of water or fruit juice.
Add 2 MP small scoops (4g) to your preferred amount of water or fruit juice and consume immediately.
1 x level MP Plastic Scoop (small) weighs 2g (not included).
This product is 100% Glutamine Peptides with nothing added or taken away.
100% Glutamine Peptides
Secret of using Glutamine Peptides
- (28 / May / 2013)
Here's the secret for successfully using Glutamine Peptides: They only dissolve in the presence of protein. Take it with your protein drink, but have it well-mixed with the protein powder before you add the liquid. I use a bike water bottle to hold my recovery drink mix. I have a mix with about 4:1 of dextrose/sucrose to whey protein to which I also add the Glutamine Peptide and Creatine. I shake it well while it's dry, then I add the water and shake thoroughly again. This will get rid of all of the problems with lumpiness or bad taste, in fact if you do this, it won't change the taste of your drink at all. If you don't premix it with protein, it will clump up horribly, and the clumps will taste awful. So there it is, just mix it with your protein first and finally start reaping the benefits of Glutamine Peptides. Keep in miind, all of the clinical research showing positive results with Glutamine are carried out with the peptide form (hospitals use it to speed up healing of burn victims), the more popular form (because it mixes easily) of L-glutamine has no studies supporting its efficacy, because almost all of it is just absorbed by the lining of your stomach and never reaches your muscles via your small intestine.Goes Well With:Whey Protein and Creatine.
Because i'm worth it
- (07 / Mar / 2013)
The taste of Glutamine Peptides isn't the best. It's really yeasty as other reviewers state and it becomes really frothy when mixed with other aminos. However I really notice the improvement in recovery time when used with creatine and it is excellent value for money.Goes Well With:Creatine
Greg Cooper
- (26 / Sep / 2010)
Doent seem to mix that well when premixing with other powders seems to clump up. I find if I seive it first and mix it with my other protien its fine tho.
very lumpy
- (29 / Apr / 2010)
"like the other reviews say,make sure its smooth before adding water and dont expect it to taste nice,add it to your protein shake is best."
- (28 / Nov / 2009)
"better absorption supposedly but would only find out through extended use.\n\ntastes vile, the 2 nastiest things on MP are this and flax powder.\n\nabsolutely horrendous."
make caps
- (12 / Sep / 2009)
"Rougher texture and taste to the comparable myprotein previously purchased product of N Acetyl L Glutamine. I made capsules to avoid the taste of the raw material, and for convenience. If you can endure the boredom of caping this product it saves a lot of money on comparable companies capsules and tablets of the same product, a hugh saving infact. I take this product before bed time and I seem to have better sleep whilst taking this although I don't know if there is any correlation between good sleep and this product. Buy some, use referral code m p 1606 for money off first order."
Mixes well if you do it right
- (05 / Jul / 2009)
"It mixes in almost as well as whey if you take a fork & break up the powder after you've put it in the mixer BEFORE you put the water in. If you put the water in straight away it will clump up if you mix the powder around to break the lumps before adding water it's fine. \n\nTastes much better than it smells (very slightly nutty), the easiest drinking unflavoured supplement I've ever had."
a bit lumpy
- (02 / Jun / 2008)
"A bit disappointed because the glutamine is a bit moist and lumpy and its hard to mix. I bought it in a bag, I just wondering if I should have bought it in a container for better quality."
Feel good
- (12 / Feb / 2008)
Been on this for a week now. Add it to my Vanilla Whey Protein shakes. What a surprise when I found it tastes like Ovaltine!! No problem downing the shake. Tastes and mixes really well. Ordered 500g so got plenty to get through. Seems like it's working.
good product
- (21 / Aug / 2007)
"the glutamine peptide product is very good taken with a protein powder. \r\nIf taken with water it does not mix easily and tastes of yeast/flour. it is not a pleasant taste but not unpleasant. if you put it in you protein and use a shaker it mixes perfectly and you can't taste it.\r\nIn terms of its effectiveness, i found it to be equal to regular l glutamine. \r\nthe advantage of this is that its the same effectiveness at half the amount of regular glutamine."

Caulking needs replaced
Our plumber just installed the bathroom sink and caulked it this past summer. This is what the caulking looks like now. Why? What kind do we need to replace it? TIA
That sure looks bad.
What is the sink made of?
Where is this caulking, and what seam is the caulk actually filling? Is the sink in the lower area, and backsplash upper? (confused)
The caulking is between the back of a fireclay sink and a vinyl piece of beadboard.
Not sure what type of caulking was used or why it looks like it is tearing or squeezing out?
I would remove it all, clean the two surfaces well with rubbing alcohol and when dry, tape along both edges and use a white silicone caulk. It can be tricky to apply, but seems far superior to acrylic latex caulk. Especially since neither the sink or the beadboard will ever need painting. (Silicone caulking cannot be painted over)
Small exit hole in the caulking tube to fit to the space to be caulked, and smooth immediately with the back of a plastic spoon, then remove the tape when complete, and there should be clean sharp lines where the caulk strip is left.
I'm wondering if you are getting some movement of the sink. Does anyone lean on it regularly? Even without realizing it?
Conrad and I disagree on the type of caulk. Silicone caulk is a bear to remove. It would take you hours to get the small area done it you would have to redo the caulk for any reason. I always prefer the latex caulk. But as you can tell, everyone has their personal preference.
I agree with metwo that silicone caulk is a bear to remove, and would not apply it against a wall that was painted or was likely to be repainted. Paint or other caulk won't stick to it either.
And good point about any movement of the sink. Does it shift or rock at all? Make it solid if it does, before proceeding.
The reason I do like it? If done right and applied neatly to a clean surface, it lasts a whole lot longer than other caulks, at least in my experience. We also have several acrylic/onyx look sinks and counters, and that is what they require (or else discoloration can occur over time). With the vinyl bead board mentioned, I was also thinking this could be a possibility.

Quick! Somebody tell the La Joya Juarez-Lincoln boys soccer team that they're doing it wrong! As a former 4A team that just this year made the jump into 30-5A, a district that includes the defending state champion Sharyland Rattlers, the Huskies are doing it all wrong! They are not supposed to have bettered the Mighty Rattlers twice this season, they are not supposed to have a 12-1 record and they are most definitely not supposed to be atop the standings in one of the toughest 5A districts in the state.
Unfortunately for the Rattlers and the rest of District 30-5A, it doesn't look as if head coach Victor Ramos' Juarez-Lincoln squad is going to stop doing it wrong anytime soon; case in point: The Huskies' 2-0 Tuesday night victory over cross-town rival and 2012 playoff team the La Joya Coyotes. This came on the heels of a 3-2 victory over Sharyland last Friday.
"It was a good game," said Ramos. "We dominated the whole game and we tried to open up spaces, but they were playing defensively so it was kind of complicated for us to go in. We finally got a goal in the second half when they started playing offensively, which opened up spaces for us."
Both of Juarez-Lincoln's goals hit the back of the net after having come off of two of Luis "Huicho" Guerra's body parts; the first off his head and the second off his foot.
"Huicho's first goal tonight was the result of a double effort," said Ramos. "He hit the post on his first shot but then he played the bounce and headed the ball into the goal. His second goal was on a penalty kick."
Despite being scoreless during the first 47 minutes of play, the Huskies offense kept pressure on the Coyotes defense throughout most of the game with a veritable barrage of shots, which were either just off the mark or were adeptly defended by La Joya keeper Francisco "Pancho" Sandoval.
"The Coyotes keeper played an awesome game. He had some unbelievable saves," said the Huskies coach.
In the State of Texas, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) uses a point system to determine district winners and playoff teams in high school soccer. At the conclusion of Tuesday night's games, Juarez-Lincoln's 34 points gives the Huskies a seven-point lead over Sharyland, an 11-point lead over Edinburg Economedes and a 12-point lead over Edinburg High and Donna.
While only four of the nine teams in District 30-5A will make it into the playoffs, Coyotes head soccer coach Eugenio Milla believes that a playoff berth is still a possibility for his seventh place squad.
"We currently have five losses, two ties and four wins in district play," shared Milla. "We are like four points behind where we need to be to have a slot in the playoffs, but we still have 12 points to dispute (four matches at three points each). If we can capitalize on those 12 points, we'll have a good chance of making the playoffs."
Even if the Coyotes do make the most of their four remaining games and qualify for the playoffs, Milla knows that he and his players will have their work cut out for them within their own bracket.
"We are in what is one of the most difficult brackets, if not the most difficult bracket in the region," said Milla. "We have Sharyland, we have Economedes, we have Edinburg High and we have Donna…who is being underestimated this year. The other difficult bracket is in Brownsville which is one of the toughest in the state."
As for their remaining schedules, the Huskies will host Economedes tonight and close out their regular season at Edinburg then at home against Donna. The Coyotes will travel to Edinburg tonight to play the Bobcats before hosting Donna, traveling to Palmview and then hosting Edinburg North.

The Railroaders took that third seed into the playoffs. And just like in 2005 when the program won its first regional championship, Sparks persevered and knocked off three straight teams in upset victories.
For that no-quit attitude, the Sparks boys soccer team received the Sparks Tribune Boys Team of the Year honor. The honor is chosen by the Sparks Tribune sports staff and goes to the top boys varsity team from one of the Rail City's three high schools: Reed, Spanish Springs and Sparks.
"It's always been like that. We bring that to the table. The boys work very, very hard over at Sparks High," Sparks boys soccer coach Frank Avilla said. "They have a lot of pride in the sport they call soccer. They love it. They eat it and breathe it. They always believe they have a chance until the end. There are a lot of natural leaders there."
With 15 minutes left in the Northern 3A championship game versus Truckee, the Railroaders had to make up a 2-0 deficit with some late heroics.
Juan Devalos scored the first goal for the Railroaders. In the 71st minute, Hector Hernandez buried the equalizer and later assisted on Eric Ojeda's game-winner with two minutes left in the contest, earning the opportunity to hang the program's second regional championship banner.
"It's a dream come true for anybody who has been in Sparks soccer," junior defender Noe Espana said of hanging a banner. "To do it twice in the last six years, I just think it will be nice."
The Railroaders then went on to compete in the state tournament in Mesquite. They used a 1-0 overtime win over Truckee to reach the 3A state championship, but then lost to South Tahoe 3-1, becoming the state runner-up for the second straight year.
Even though the Maroon and Gold couldn't cap its season with a state championship, it was still a season to never forget for the seniors.
"It was an experience of a lifetime really, winning Zone and making it to the (state) finals again," senior goalkeeper Javier Torres said. "You couldn't really ask for more. It just sucks that it's over."
Sparks beat every team it played except North Tahoe, which it tied twice. The SHS crew doubled the scoring of its opponents, outscoring them 46-23 in 17 regular and postseason contests. The Railroaders recorded five shutouts.
However, it was two back-to-back games early in the fall in which the Railroaders were blanked that gave some fans worry. In the same week, Sparks traveled to Truckee and South Tahoe and fell 6-0 and 3-0.
When the teams met again in the final week and a half of the regular season, the outcomes were much different. Sparks knocked off Truckee 2-0 and then tied South Tahoe 1-1, preventing the Vikings from racking up a perfect 12-0 record in league.
Still, not many expected the Railroaders to be able to knock off the former 4A powerhouse. But that's exactly what happened in the regional semifinals when Sparks sent South Tahoe to its only defeat of the season.
"It took a team effort. Everyone else got to them and were intimidated. We saw past them and just played our game," Torres said. "We knew we could beat them and we did."
Sparks had plenty of players honored in all-region and all-state lists.
Forward Marco Pintor (19 goals, 12 assists), midfielder Kevin Partida (8 goals, 12 assists), defender Espana and goalkeeper Torres all made the first team all-region and all-state teams.
Ojeda was a second team all-region midfielder, while midfielder Edgar Casillas and defender Hernandez were honorable mentions. Casillas had a strong enough state tournament where he was selected to the first team all-state list.
Avilla is already looking forward to next year and defending the region crown.
"I think we retool. We have a good freshman class coming in," Avilla said. "We've started our offseason conditioning and we've had good response in our meetings so far. I think we're going to be fine. It's always hard when you lose guys like Marco Pintor. But we've had athletes of that caliber leave, and we've been blessed to be able to retool, whether it be with their relatives or kids that they played with who were just underclassmen."

Brooklyn had championship aspirations ever since it acquired Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett on draft night, but ended the 2013 calendar year at 10-21, with All-Star center Brook Lopez out for the season, and searching for answers under rookie head coach Jason Kidd. While Pierce and Garnett were important in getting the Nets into the postseason, Kidd's insertion of another offseason signing, Shaun Livingston, into the starting five is what really propelled the team on both ends.
Toronto's aspirations were thousands of miles from lofty. Head coach Dwane Casey readily admitted throughout the season that the Raptors did not expect to reach the postseason. They offloaded Rudy Gay in a deal that most thought would get the team closer to Canadian prodigy Andrew Wiggins, not the postseason. But surprisingly, everything was coming up Raptors.
Kyle Lowry pushed past the dogged trade rumors and had a tremendous regular season. DeMar DeRozan finally developed into an All-Star scorer and lived up to his lucrative contract. Jonas Valanciunas continued his improvement. Native son Drake became a team brand ambassador, and the team took home the Atlantic Division title and the third seed in the East.
So that's how the Nets and Raptors, and not the Knicks or Celtics, became the two Atlantic teams to reach the postseason. And now they face one another in what could be the most tightly contested series in the conference. Here are five factors you should look out for over the course of the next two weeks.

Click here for more information on STLE and ICML certifications.
This article is the third in this ongoing series on the important components of lubrication certification examinations administered by the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) and the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML).
Gear types and properties
Gears are classified by shaft orientation. The most common type makes up the parallel shaft group, shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 The parallel shaft group is the most common gear type.
Some confusion can exist between double helical and herringbone gears: Most people consider them the same. In Fig. 2, though, notice that one of these gears has a strip in the middle and the other has continuous teeth. One definition holds that the double helical type has teeth slanting in opposite directions, while the teeth in the herringbone all slant in the same direction. Originally, that strip in the middle of the double helical was needed because of the manufacturing process. Eventually the process allowed all teeth to be continuous with no break in the middle. It should be noted that one of the major disadvantages of the helical gear is that it creates thrust along the shaft. This is eliminated by the use of herringbone (double helical) gears. Typical reduction ratios for parallel shaft gears do not exceed 10:1—and are more like 5:1. Table I summarizes the properties of parallel shaft gears.
Table I. Properties of Parallel Shaft Gears (Click to enlarge)
As illustrated in Fig. 3, the next group of gears, which have shafts at right angles, are divided into intersecting and non-intersecting types.
Fig. 3. The right-angle shaft gear group is made up of intersecting and non-intersecting types.
Both bevel and spiral bevel gears have shafts that intersect at the centerline, whereas worm and hypoid gears have non-intersecting shafts with one below the centerline. The properties of right-angle shafts are illustrated in Table II.
Table II. Properties of Right-Angle Shaft Gears (click to enlarge)
It should be noted that hypoid gears are used primarily in automotive applications: They've replaced spiral bevel gears in differentials, which results in a much more compact arrangement since the shafts can pass each other. They also produce high torque.
Lubrication delivery systems
Most gears are lubricated by splashing oil from a sump onto the gear teeth and bearings. Achieving the right level/delivering the correct amount of lubricant is crucial. If the level is too low, you'll find yourself dealing with lubricant starvation, increased wear, inadequate heat dissipation and foaming. Too much lubricant, on the other hand, may lead to churning, resulting in higher operating temperatures, a decrease in efficiency and greater foaming tendency. Typically, for parallel shaft and bevel gears at normal speed (1000 fpm- 4000 fpm), the oil level ranges from completely covering the bottom teeth up to three times the depth of the bottom teeth—the most common being twice the depth of the bottom teeth. At very low speeds (< 1000 fpm), the level of immersion can be 3-5 times the tooth depth. Lubrication of worm gears is different. Worm gears come in three designs, each with its own lubrication approach:
It's best to adhere to what the OEM recommends for oil level during splash lubrication. The above levels are merely general guidelines.
Be aware that there is a speed limitation on the use of splash lubrication. Speed is measured in meter/second or feet/minute (fpm) and calculated by multiplying the circumference of the gear (π x diameter). For example, a 12" diameter gear, running at 1000 rpm, will have a speed of 3140 fpm (3.14 x 1 ft x 1000 rpm). With no design changes, a splash-lubrication system can usually operate up to 4000 fpm. By installing baffle plates and oil pockets, the speed can reach 11,000 fpm. At higher speeds, a pressure-circulation system is used. The two major types are dry sump (where the oil is stored outside the gearbox), or wet sump (where the oil is in the gearbox). In a pressure-circulation system, oil is sprayed directly at the teeth contact points.
Lubricant selection
The most important property for an oil used to lubricate enclosed gears is correct viscosity. The major variable in viscosity selection is the speed of the gears expressed in pitch line velocity, which is defined as speed of the gear in rpm times the circular pitch diameter in inches. The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) publishes viscosity recommendations based on pitch line velocity. Robert Errichello, a world-renowned expert on gear failure analysis, has developed the following simplified formula for determining the correct viscosity to use on enclosed gears:
Table III notes the most common viscosities and gear oil types for enclosed gearboxes.
Keep in mind that Table III is only a summary of the most common viscosity grades for enclosed gears: It incorporates the old AGMA system, which has been changed. New tables no longer include the AGMA number. Many gearboxes still reflect the old system where viscosity grades were also expressed as a single digit number. Referring to Table III, we see the outdated AGMA number for ISO 220 gear oil is 5.
To purchase the most up-to-date AGMA Classification System chart, go to www.AGMA.org. Once the correct vis-cosity has been determined, the oil type must be selected. Options include rust and oxidation (R&O) inhibited lubricants, synthetics, extreme pressure (EP) products and compounded oils. Table IV lists the types of oils used on enclosed reducer gearboxes.
Table IV reflects general guidelines only: There are many exceptions. The following are additional comments on oil selection for reducer gearboxes:
This information is just a start: More details on gear oils can be obtained from product data sheets.
NOTE: While a product data sheet provides useful information, the true test of a gear oil is how it works in the system. Adhere to OEM guidelines and consult with your lube supplier for further information.
Fig. 4. Destructive pitting is caused by surface overload conditions.
Fig. 5. Ridging on the side of a deformed gear tooth indicates a condition known as plastic flow, which is caused by severe overload. (This is NOT a lubrication-related condition.)
Gear failure modes
The major factors affecting gear life are load, environment, temperature and speed. Wear modes are summarized as follows:
Gears are an integral part of many manufacturing processes: A failure of a gear can have an enormous impact on production. These components must be lubricated properly and maintained to achieve long life. Oil analysis is an important predictive tool in monitoring gear wear. (This topic will be discussed in a later installment of our series.)

The next installment in this series discusses the Basic Principles of Fluid Power. Look for it in the September/October issue of LMT.

Samsung LED Series 7
We paid for one of these on Dec 15th. It still hasn't arrived....very dissapointing. By the time we get it the "new technolgy", wont be very new!
This Samsung Series 7 television has LED edge-lighting to cut down on power consumption.
LCD, LED and plasma televisions may seem identical when you're in the store, but the similarities end once you look past the thin form factor and big screens.
Want to learn about 3D TV? Take a look at our 3D TV buying guide.
Plasma TVs use a sheet of miniscule individual plasma cells that create a picture when an electrical charge is applied — examples of plasma televisions include the Panasonic TH-50VX100W, LG 50PS80ED and Panasonic TH-P50G10A.
LCD televisions, on the other hand, use liquid crystal compressed between two glass plates; an image is created when electricity is applied to these crystals. LCD televisions can range from cheap models like the Changhong LT4268TA to more expensive sets like the Sony Bravia KDL40W5500 and the Toshiba Regza 42RV600A.
LED TVs use liquid crystal, but unlike regular LCD televisions they use a backlight made of hundreds of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) instead of a fluorescent lamp. The LEDs can be evenly distributed around the back of the television's panel or situated in the edges of the screen to create a very thin display chassis. LED televisions include the Sharp LC40LB700X, Samsung Series 7 (UA46B7100) and Sony Bravia KDL55XBR45.
How well an image is displayed on a television panel — whether it is a Blu-ray movie, a HDTV broadcast or a high-definition video game — depends on a television's display technology and its image processing capabilities.
A television's contrast ratio represents its ability to show detail in high contrast areas of the screen, in the form of minute gradations of colour and blacks or whites. For example, a panel with a low contrast ratio will struggle to show the higher or lower extremes of an image. In layman's terms, this means detail will be lost in bright areas as well as in dark scenes. In a Blu-ray movie, for example Batman Begins, the loss of detail in dark scenes will quickly become apparent.
Most manufacturers increase the contrast capabilities of their screens by dynamically altering backlight brightness. This allows extra detail to be shown in dark scenes and can be a life-saver for a panel with a low static contrast ratio. Some manufacturers have taken their estimations of this dynamic contrast ratio to excess, rating their screens at contrast ratios of 1,000,000:1 — and even higher. While these figures demonstrate the advantages of dynamic contrast ratio alteration, they don't need to be a big factor in your buying decision.
It is generally accepted that plasma televisions have better contrast ratios than LCD panels, due to the fact that a plasma television can completely deactivate the light source for individual segments of the screen. This means sections of the screen can be completely dark while others are displaying bright colour, unlike a traditional LCD screen which has a single backlight array that can only alter brightness levels for the entire screen.
The latest LED backlight technology allows the television to individually control backlight segments. This technology allows for contrast ratios similar to those produced by plasma television panels. However, edge-lit LED televisions — usually available in an ultra-slim form factor — will have lower dynamic contrast ratios than the backlit LED models so be sure to check this detail before you purchase.
The narrower a television's quoted viewing angle is, the smaller the range in which it produces a 'perfect' image with no loss of contrast or colour. Many manufacturers quote an unrealistically high viewing angle — close to a full 180 degrees in some instances — but the best way to test this is to test the screens in person.

How much is too much?!
Great guide, I've been looking around for some good information on this topic for a while now and almost drowned in a sea of unhelpfulness; "This one sucks, this one is the best" to which someone else replys "No that one sucks, this is the best" This has really helped make up my mind, cheers.
Then again... I guess that's what I get for checking yarhoo answers first...
Great article. Had a plasma and sold it with the house when I moved. Now want to replace. Much of the information conveyed here matched the information from a salesperson I met today, so makes me feel better about buying there if I do.
LED is good but we need cash :)
You might mention too, as pointed out to me that in stores most TV's are running a DVD or Blue-ray movie on screen
the quality is far different to normal TV it would be good to see normal Tv running through them I hear quality is a lot different.
which is the longest lasting TV and how long is its average life span?
I would like to install a flat screen in my motor home and am curious as to which type would take the shaking caused by riding down the road.
For god sale it's a simple enough question which one is better all I want it's a simple answer not more jargon and tech info. Plasma, LED or LCD is all I needed not 5 yes 5 pages of info
Bill - 10+++++!! LOL
The biggest issue with plasma is the reflections it produces. Next time you compare LED or LCD notice the fluorescent light in the showroom reflecting off the plasma. No so with the others.
For someone like me just starting out to upgrade to HDTV, Campbell Simpson's clear and uncluttering comparisons are a revelation compared to so much of the writings of others on this subject. Congrats to Campbell on a very good job.
yo rock PCWORLD
Excellent article, Campbell. Simple explanations for increasingly complex consumer products. Thanks.
comparison shopping and adjusting the settings is a great idea, and the way it used to be. But at least in the Atlanta metro area there is virtually no where to do that. I have been to several Best Buys, and no one there can find a remote for even one of the TVs, let alone for multiple comparison. the popular practice of store pricing and then buying on line is eliminating the ability of stores to survive with competent sales help.
We supply DVB-S Set Up Box compliant with TV. If this TV comes with this Set Up Box will be perfect. Come to me here http://www.huaren-tech.com/en/contact.asp
I want to know which television is good LED or plasma
We have recently purchesed a Samsung series 6 LED TV 50inch. We are very dissapointed with the quality and picture sharpness. Do not buy this product!!!!
I want to know which television is good LED or plasma, please suggest me.
LED in well lit room and uses less power than Plasma.
Plasma gives better picture for viewing motion e.g. motor racing etc. Horses for courses as they say.
As a motor racing enthusiast I prefer Plasma, but, be aware that new technologies are on the horizon. Soon (I hope) we may see the introduction of AMOLED technology (as per phone screens) used in TVs. If phone screens are any indication those TVs should be brilliant.
This article is not so good as this provides much of information that a layman cannot understand. All I want to know is which tv is good for what reasons in a simple table format.
the below site seems to be good:
Thank you very much Bala for the link for TV review
I am planning to put a flat screen tv out side in a new out door bar and entertaining area but I am concerned about reflection. It is under cover on one side of the house, then with awning coming out.
What type would best suit this situation.
Never have I ever used a forum for my resesarch so please forgive if I break the techno rules... I am looking to buy about a "32 tv and i would prefer to have a built in DVD player. I know that TV/DVD combos do not come with WIFI due to differences in techno generations but i would like to know if i can make the TV/DVD combo into WIFI capable with a usb WIFI antenna. If so what make and model will allow me to do this.
I can only speak to my 42" LED LG 120HZ set. Great picture, great performance, great price. I couldn't ask for anything better. 100% happy with it. I got the LED instead of plasma simply because I needed a matt screen due to a window right behind my seating. Zero window glare to report. Did I mention I love my LG LED TV?
i want to buy 32 inch HD LED TV, mu budget is Rs. up to 35000.
pls suggest me model number from SONY, SAMSUNG nad LG brand only.
i have not require smart tv.
i have some research about samsung model.
i want to share i also this.
SAMSUNG EH series closed now.
only one model continue.
1) it is UA32EH4003RMXL (Rs. 28,500) but in this model sound is poor.
now we search in F series only.
2) UA32F4100ARLXL - picture quality not good. as per user review on samsung site.(Rs 32,500 )
3) UA32F4800ARLXL - i dont like TV design (RS. 36,500 )
Now two models are left.
I)UA32F4500ARLXL - LED HD SMART TV - Rs 38,500
II)UA32F5100ARLXL - FULL HD LED TV - Rs 38,500
i think no require full hd tv in 32 inch and watching distance is already 10ft or above.
now pls suggest me which model i purchase ?
if i am wrong in any above statement then pls let me tell.
you can suggest me any other brand tv in my budget.
pls help me. i am confused.
Excellent information and inpeccable comments, which are still relevant in 2013!
Must admit I'm a Panny plasma man, but gee! the LED/LCD's are not bad - the LED, rather than that cold, morgue like fluorescent backlight of the original LCD's really helps. The current Sony Bravia, although limited in its picture controls, is quite a beautiful tele to watch.
Hi sir this is sathyanarayana from hyd i am planing to purchase led tv this diwali please suggest me the best model and best features of led tv our budjet between 30k to 35 k,we are not use more internet on tv's .samsung and sony which one is the best and latest model ,please give me the suggestion ASAP
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
